Gnats, roaches, and beef thawed in a container in the mop sink are just some of the disturbing things found by health investigators at Houston restaurants from July 2 through July 9.

During health inspections, inspectors distribute violations that carry a weight between 1 and 25, increasing in severity. The term "demerit" is used by city health inspectors to describe the weighted value assigned to each violation.

The Houston Chronicle obtained the results of routine health inspections throughout the city and tallied each restaurant's demerits for a comprehensive list of violations.
